Filio Reviews & Product Details

I use Filio mainly for a class reconnaissance trip, and it's extremely effective. I find the ability to compile photos from almost 30 to 40 people in one location all synchronized very cool. The low barrier to entry is something I really like; all you need is a phone. It's easy to just download the app and use it anywhere without needing any extra equipment or a laptop.

The app does have some glitches and bugs. I think if the user interface was a little bit more natural and smoother, that would be a lot nicer. I personally had some issues with the verification with the OTP code. I think there should be a way to do this in a better way in terms of just verifying with the code. That was pretty annoying.

The software is amazing! It easily organizes and stored photos and videos allowing simple queries and reports. The software is continuously improved and made more powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As I noticed problems or issues with the software, I have been able to bring it to the attention of the development team and I am amazed about how quickly it is resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can add notes and keep locations with Filio. I don't have to worry about adding storage space to my phone because I can upload everything that I need straight to Filio with no problem. I can then create organized reports from that. It's really important to have details about what you're taking a photo of, so being able to do that all in one spot is really helpful. It's a lot easier to do it right then and there when taking the photo, as opposed to writing it in a note somewhere else and correlating it later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the app crashes, which can be frustrating. Also, it can take a really long time to sync photos, and if you're taking a lot of photos on a site, it can only sync maybe five to ten at a time, or else the app will crash. So I think those are things that have caused some issues before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the built-in coordinate system and map that shows all previously completed projects. It's useful when I'm looking for something spatially. I also like being able to search by photo recognition key words. These features provide photo organization that, as a geotechnical team, are very useful to us and are not readily available when we store photos in simpler software. Filio helps streamline getting photo data from the field and prevents loss of information like missing photos or missing coordinates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Organizing photos in photo reports, especially reports of a few hundred photos, could be improved. Maybe including the ability to assign each photo an index number rather than making drag/drop the primary organization method, or letting the user drag/drop with a photo label view instead of photo grid view. As of now, it takes a long time to move each photo through, and it can crash the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Filio is, for the most part, user-friendly. It's very easy to upload pictures when in the field, and it's also easy to pull up said pictures and your projects. I also like the AI feature that it has when it comes to labeling different pictures. I found that helpful. With Filio being user-friendly, it's very easy to find the projects. Unlike with different platforms where you spend a lot of time just trying to find the project or the folder or the file that you're looking for, with Filio, it's much easier to track down all these different files because they're in a straightforward and simple location that's easy to find. The AI labeling is helpful because it saves me time since I don't have to take that time to label everything myself, and if I do need to change the AI labels, it's much easier to just change or edit those labels rather than having to rewrite my own entirely.

One thing that I find frustrating is I can't really work in Filio and have the screen split on my laptop. When I try to split my screen, I don't have all the information there, which can be really frustrating when I'm trying to copy information from Filio into a different platform like Excel. So I find that to be frustrating that when I then tried to split my screen, the entire Filio screen changes. And it doesn't show all the information anymore.

I really like the AI tagging feature in Filio because it's incredibly useful for organizing and filtering photos. It's great to be able to just type a tag and automatically filter out relevant images, which makes the whole process faster. Additionally, the plan view feature is really useful. It allows me to know exactly where a photo was taken and in what direction, which is crucial when working remotely. Filio also helps us organize photos based on project numbers, which is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We work from a different country, not the US, and it's really helpful if we can access the Filio website from other countries as well. Each time, we have to log in using a VPN, and for some reason, it slows down the browsing experience a bit. Another thing that could be improved is the preview feature of photos. Sometimes there will be thousands of photos, and we won't have time to go through all of them one by one as a large image. If there's a way to make thumbnails bigger or review multiple photos at once by scrolling through all of them, that would be very useful. Initially, there was no way for the team to give access to all folders to my email address. They had to do it individually, which could be improved by allowing access to all folders at once to a particular email address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filio gives us a reliable way to capture and organize jobsite photos/videos with clear timestamps and context, and then turn that into shareable reports. It feels built for construction workflows, not just general file storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I have not encountered any significant drawbacks. While occasional connectivity issues in the field are to be expected on job sites, Filio manages offline data capture effectively and synchronizes everything once a connection is restored Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Filio to document photos from site visits, and I really like how it automatically uploads photos to a server, compared to all of our engineers having them in the camera roll and usually not transferring them into the correct folders. Filio also tags the location where each photo was taken, significantly speeding up our report process and making it much easier to comment on photos and add captions. I especially appreciate the professional reports that are quickly generated with the stamped location on the photos. Additionally, the setup was very easy to learn and get integrated with.

I find Filio to be great for working in the field. It makes it easy to translate findings effectively. I love its potential for various applications, especially in construction or reconnaissance. Being able to take pictures on-site and see exactly where they were taken on a map or design plans is extremely useful for continuous progress tracking during construction or after disasters. I especially value the ability to geolocate both photos and videos onto maps or plans. The automatic document and report generation using field information is also really helpful. The initial setup was super easy and straightforward, and there's good documentation to support it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think there could be some improvements to integration with other platforms but overall it is an excellent tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Filio for taking pictures during fieldwork like surveying and geotechnical drilling. It helps me collect visual data and access it easily, overcoming obstacles of using collected images and streamlining the process of collecting visual data in the field. I like its AI features that automatically tag photos and videos with relevant information, saving me time and effort by helping me find exactly what I need from the images the first time. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think integration with a wider range of visual data like 360 video, multispec, and point maps would be interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
